I have the following partition structure
`/dev/loop0 squashfs
/dev/sda1 system reserved ( ntfs )
/dev/sda2 ntfs ( windows partition )
/dev/sda3 ntfs
/dev/sda5 ntfs
/dev/sda6 ext4`
I have Ubuntu installed inside windows. I formatted /dev/sda6 from inside Ubuntu ( using Gparted ). What I totally forgot was /dev/sda6 had Fedora which was the root directory of GRUB.
I'm trying to install Archlinux on my macbook in dual boot mode.
I part the disk that way :
/dev/sda1 -> EFI
/dev/sda2 ->MacOS
/dev/sda3 -> /boot
/dev/sda4 -> /
/dev/sda5 -> /home
As i read in the docs i don't install grub on my MBR, i put it in sda3 - the boot partition.
Hi, I recently decided that I want to run a dual boot of Ubuntu 9.10 (main) and Winblows XP (games).
In Live CD i went in the terminal and when i do 'sudo update-grub' it responds

sda3/Wubi: -
sda4 - Grub2
sda5 - Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
sda6 -
sda7 -
sda8 - BIOS Boot Partition

Everything went on well. Today morning when I rebooted my workstation, I was appalled by the grub rescue screen that appeared on boot up. I could not guess what could be the reason for this.

Hello,
First I'd like to say that I've done a lot of search before asking this question. And even if I found some infomations, my question remains.
So here is the situation
A disk with Win7 and Ubuntu in dual boot, but not with grub2.
Until now I had 2 NTFS partitions on my harddrive.
I had the idea to dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu and what I did was the following:
Made a clean install of win 7 using all of my hard drive, next I used the ubuntu live cd and gparted to partition my drive to be the following:
/dev/sda1 ext4 20GB (Linux root)
/dev/sda2 ntfs 100GB(Win7)
/dev/sda3 ext4 350GB(Home)
/dev/sda4 extended 4GB(swap)
The thing is, when installing ubuntu I deleted the partiti
